Online dating: how to sort the rough diamonds from the smooth criminals
That's not to say no-one can be trusted online, but it's worth being prepared to .
Some online daters may use harmless hidden messages such as ‘I am of slim, athletic build’, when they really mean they are portly and haven’t hit the gym since 1976. Stating that you are ‘curvy’ when really you are obese is another clanger: people can see your profile picture, and that on its own tells a story. However, the biggest mistakes are along the lines of stating you are single with no dependants, when really you have a wife and three children at home.
Of course, this works both ways. You should be careful with your own profile - listing yourself as "fun-loving" or "surprisingly single" may not always be a good idea, as readers can misinterpret them. They may think that you are saying you are for a one-night stand, or suggesting that you have not yet been snapped up, which can be seen as arrogant.
Someone stating that they "can’t believe I am doing this" or "ready to move on" may mean that they seem to be slightly embarrassed by internet dating and worried their peers might find out, or that they aren’t really ready to move on. If the former, it could mean that if you went on to start a relationship with them they would forever be worried about you mentioning how you met, and if the latter it may mean they haven't over an ex.
That said, most people who choose to internet date are actually looking for love, so don’t worry, there is someone out there for everyone, and they may just be waiting a click away. ( telegraph.co.uk )
